Spherical robots comprise a class of mobile systems characterised by a fully enclosed spherical shell that integrates internal actuation mechanisms. Their dynamics are defined by complex nonholonomic ...

Fluid robot motion is the result of design choices among five options including pneumatics and strain wave gears.

Spherical mobile robots represent a versatile class of autonomous systems that encapsulate the mechanical advantages of a sealed, omnidirectional shell with innovative internal actuation mechanisms.

The team explained that the system is a 3D terrestrial, self-reconfigurable robotic swarm made up of compact, dome-shaped ...

It may not be as sophisticated as Stargate Universe's self-levitating "kino" flying orb drone, but the new aerial robot from Japan's Ministry of Defense is spherical, it's got a camera on board, and ...
